Saturday Night Popcorn is back with another episode of movie reviews and trivia. This week, we’re talking about the 1993 film Much Ado About Nothing, directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh, along with Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington, Keanu Reeves, and Kate Beckinsale in her film debut. This film is a romantic comedy based on William Shakespeare’s play of the same name, which tells the story of two pairs of lovers: the witty Benedick and Beatrice, who pretend to hate each other, and the sweet Claudio and Hero, who are set to be married. But when the villainous Don John plots to ruin their happiness, it’s up to their friends to save the day and make them realize how much they truly love each other. We’ll discuss the film’s plot, characters, themes, and style, as well as share some fun facts and behind-the-scenes stories. Did you know that the film was shot in just 36 days in a beautiful villa in Tuscany? Or that the film received no Oscar nominations despite being a critical and commercial success? Or that the film features a cameo by Patrick Doyle, the composer of the film’s music, as a singing friar? Tune in to find out more about this delightful adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic comedy. And don’t forget to rate, review, and subscribe to our podcast for more movie fun.
